A coordinated Cottleville rebuild, ready for the family gathering.
An unsafe blue deck came down. In its place: a complete TimberTech replacement with DrySpace, stair lighting, and a layout that works with the new patio—not against it.

A safe replacement, faster answers, and room for future plans.
Several builders had already visited, but proposals were taking too long. The homeowners needed a company that could move the bid forward, coordinate around a separate patio project, and help select a practical composite direction for a home with dogs.
The new deck also needed to work for family gatherings now and a possible roof later—without requiring the homeowners to commit to Freedom for that future roof.
- 01A professional proposal within one week
The homeowners were ready to make a decision and did not want to keep waiting on bids.
- 02A complete replacement
The old blue deck was unsafe, unattractive, and ready to be removed rather than patched.
- 03Practical material guidance
They wanted help choosing a composite direction that made sense for a household with dogs.
- 04A better family space
Lighting, DrySpace, and improved circulation needed to support gatherings above and below the deck.
The grade, patio schedule, and future roof all had to work together.
The left side of the property dropped enough to make a conventional stair run cumbersome. At the same time, another contractor was preparing the patio below and the homeowners wanted to preserve a future roof option.
Respond while the decision was active.
Freedom completed the professional proposal within one week, giving the homeowners a clear scope while other bids were still pending.
Redesign the route to the yard.
An approximately eight-foot side walkway leads to the stairs, which return beneath the deck and land on the new patio.
Coordinate the patio sequence.
Freedom temporarily braced the work so the patio could be poured afterward without sacrificing the deck schedule.
Plan ahead without locking them in.
Future roof piers were poured during the deck project so the homeowners can choose any qualified roof contractor later.
Protect the family deadline.
The work was sequenced so the deck could be ready ahead of a July 4 family gathering.
One structure, several problems solved.
TimberTech Terrain Weathered Oak field boards are framed by TimberTech Terrain Dark Oak picture framing, borders, and dividers. White Veranda railing keeps the elevated structure visually light, while stair lighting improves the route to the yard.
DrySpace creates a more useful area beneath the deck. The future roof piers preserve the next phase without turning that future project into a condition of this one.
A complete replacement—not a cosmetic cover-up.
The old deck was removed so the new design could solve the structure, circulation, finish, and future plans as one project.

Final inspection accountability, in writing.
Freedom coordinates the required final inspection for our contracted scope. If covered work does not pass because of Freedom's workmanship or design, we correct that work at no added cost and coordinate the required reinspection.
